Amir Sinaeepourfard, Ph.D., was a former “research associate” and a “postdoctoral candidate” at NTNU, Norway. Amir received a Ph.D. in Computer Architecture (focused on data and software management) with First Class Honours (Excellent Cum Laude) from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Spain in November 2017. Amir was a fellow of the FI-DGR fellowship program of the Generalitat de Catalunya in Spain during his Ph.D. studies. Based on Amir Ph.D. studies, Amir proposed several novel contributions for Large-Scale ICT management in Smart Cities through Edge-to-Cloud orchestration and building, developing, and improving the idea related to the Big Data Driven Management within and across Data LifeCycle Models in Smart Cities, e.g.,

• ◉  DC2C-ICT: Decentralized-to-Centralized ICT Architecture
• ◉  F2C-DM: Fog-to-Cloud Data Management
• ◉  D2C-DM: Distributed-to-Centralized Data Management
• ◉  D2C-ICT: Distributed-to-Centralized ICT Architecture
• ◉  F2c2C-ICT: Fog-to-cloudlet-to-Cloud ICT Architecture
• ◉  Hybrid ICT Architecture
• ◉  E2CaaS: Edge-to-Cloud-as-a-Service Model for Building Software Services
• ◉  Developing Software Services in Smart Cities based on Edge to Cloud Orchestration (Contributions: Available on Page 5)
• ◉  Data Preservation from Fog to Cloud: Future Roadmap for Storage-as-a-Service
• ◉  Cost Model for Data Discovery
• ◉  I2CM-IoT: Integrated and Intelligent Control and Monitoring of IoT Systems
• ◉  Integrated and Intelligent Key Performance Indicators (KPI) Management focus on ICT Technologies and Solutions

Based on Amir’s Ph.D. thesis, one of Amir’s publications received the IFIP Med-Hoc-Net paper of the best paper year award for 2016. Amir has significant hands-on experience in both academic research and organizing scientific events/seminars/workshops/conferences in his field. Amir is a “Core Team Member, Workshop Organizer and Idea Creator” of an International Workshops series of “3SCity-E2C: Building Software Services in Smart City through Edge-to-Cloud Orchestration” and “ICT-SCity: The ICT in Smart City Day event.” Also, Amir has recently organized a special scientific track for Digital Twins and Data Engineering in large-scale IoT networks of smart cities within the high-prestige IEEE COINS. Amir’s Google Scholar citation as of January 2023 was 381, and his H-index was 12.

Amir has been quite well-experienced in leadership activities in academia and industries (such as the “Team Lead at Aker Solutions,” “e-Banking Manager,” and “Technical Supervisor of master and bachelor students”). Amir is an active member of several National/European projects and consortiums for technical collaboration/responsibilities of several tasks, reports, deliverables, and publications, such as:
